Yesterday I was held prisoner by my computer. It was the day the newsletter went out, launching the new work blog and as is normal, I also had to write it up on the work website.
For 2 hours I battled to find the small piece of html I knew I had missed ... the section that would make the banner photograph on the website appear.
I tried everything.
I deleted the image, added it again.
The harder I looked, the faster I ran out of options.
I started repeating them, desperately.
I took a lunch break about 2pm.
I was caught up by a daytime movie.
I ate some M&Ms.
Nothing helped.
Finally Jessie came over. She tried most of what I had tried then suggested I put the image address thingie in as a url to see where it took me.
It was a road to nowhere.
Yes, that would be me ... the creature who forgot to load the image into the images folder on the live website.
I mailed the newsletter out to our subscribers about 5pm, having started my day around 9am.
A normal working day perhaps but a very long day.

It's tragic when even M & Ms don't help. : )
i'm sorry HTML stuff like this drives me nuts some days.
It was, v-grrl. They were a desperation purchase but by crickey, I was feeling rotten by then.
HTML world is a cruel cruel world on occasion, isn't it Van :)
